Allegory Essay 1

Allegory in literature is an excellent way to write. It’s an imaginative way of writing, but it’s not just plain and simple it gives emphasis on the mortal of the story. It’s rhetorical and implies meaning that is not literal. In allegory a symbol or character may be consider symbolic of a concept like a person, fortune or reason. Although not everyone who writes uses allegory in their writing it is very effective. One example of an allegory in literature is Animal Farm, written by George Orwell in 1945; it reflects events leading up to the Stalin era and just before World War II. (Wikimedia Foundation, 2011). Manor Farm, where the animals and the story take’s place, is symbolic for Russia and the Soviet Union, but it’s also just the human society in general. (Spark Notes, 2011) Through out the story it comes to mind that some of the characters resemble someone in real life. For example, Czar Nicholas II was by far the worst king compared to western kings and cruel but sometimes kind, Mr. Jones in the book was irresponsible, cruel to the animals, but also can be sometimes kind (Political Allegory, 2011). Animalism and Communism also appear to be the same. In animalism there is no owners, no rich but no poor, workers also get a better life, all animals are equal and everyone owns a farm. In communism, they too have people as equal and the government owns everything and the people own the government. (Political Allegory, 2011). As you can tell there are similarities throughout the book, so we gather the idea that Animal farm is an allegory. Additionally, The Wizard of Oz by Frank Baum is a well-rounded example of an allegory. The dreadful twister that took Dorothy and Toto to the Land of Oz can be considered as the confusion of the Great Depression, and the Stock Market crash (The Wizard Of Oz- Allegory, 2011). When you think you about it the twister makes since to stand for what it does because a twister does a lot of damage, and after, it takes time to clean...

Just like essays in other subjects, math essays require you to consider your audience. Mathematician P.R. Halmos suggests in his article, "How to Write Mathematics," thinking of a particular person when writing, especially one whose math ways "can stand mending." Therefore, unless directed otherwise, write as if your audience has the same basic level of math skills as you. Though you are writing a math essay to explain an idea or solution, you also want to persuade your reader that your methodology is the best one. Keep in mind your professor or teacher is not the main audience member as he already understands the concept.
Concept Essay Organization
A math essay about a concept looks similar to essays in other classes; it is, in fact, an expository essay. For this, you investigate a mathematical concept, develop further ideas about the theory based on research and make a claim in the form of a thesis statement. To write the essay, start with an introduction by stating the topic and its import. The introduction includes your claim about the theory. Develop the claim in subsequent paragraphs using evidence from your research as support. Conclude by tying up any loose ends and readdressing the theory in light of the information you provided.

Many of us want social change of various kinds. However, there are barriers to that change, and
some of the strongest barriers may be those that we don’t fully recognize - those inside ourselves.
We say we want change. We say we are for curiosity, exploration, independence, and selfdetermination; yet when given the choice, most seem to choose the well-worn path of the status
quo. We are likely to idealize the life of John, the savage, in Brave New World, but who among
us would actually happily live John’s life? We are horrified and bewildered by some of the
choices of Tobias Schneebaum, who has lived a more adventurous and independent life than
most of us ever will. John and Schneebaum went against the grain. Most people say they want
that too, but within our everyday lives, we tend to choose to maintain social order, on both a
micro (everyday life) and macro (social institutional) level, perhaps because it can be so nervewracking to break the rules. It is excruciating, for example, to do “nothing” in the face of a
world that demands goals and activity. Again and again, we choose the norm, yet say we want
passion, liberation, and transformation. But if change is to happen, it must come from change in
the everyday lives of our citizens, at...

What was the impact of the First World War on the Australian Economy?
Australia’s involvement in the First World War began in the 1914, its actions representative of its support of Britain’s declaration of war. This unity is implied by the amount of men who felt duty bound to serve Britain’s interest, corresponding to 40% of men enlisted who are aged between 18 and 44. Of these amounts, 330000 men went abroad, whilst 60000 passed away and another 150000 returning with injuries (Dyster & Meredith 2012, p.96). Hence, the absence of these men during the period of Wold War One itself signifies major impacts to the Australian economy, coming in the form of a decrease in labour supply, thus triggering changes in the economy to attempt to replace these shortage. This dilemma is further compounded with the difficulties Australia experienced in its trade agreements during the war and its attempt to resolve it through import substitution, which however, triggers both positive and negative changes, hence altering the structure of the economy. Furthermore, the return of the soldiers from war, and Australia’s attempts to reabsorb them to the community also causes difficulties for Australia, which are compounded by the lack of finances involved to act upon this plan, hence straining Australia’s debt.
The rise of the war meant a shift in the allocation of resources in Australia due to import substitution, causing a more rapid...

Appalachia is statistically different from the rest of America in terms of income, health, home-ownership and educational statistics. Recent research on poverty and income in the Appalachian area indicates that the per capita income between 2008 and 2012 in the United States was 28,05. In the Appalachian region, it was 23, 486. In Southern Appalachia, which is where I am located, it was 23,794 (Activity: internet search of Appalachia, http://www.arc.gov/research). The higher levels in the Appalachian region alone are comparable to the United States as a whole. During the 2008-2012 period, homeonwership was more common in the Appalachian region than in the rest of the country. In all but 22 counties, the share of owner occupied housing units matched or exceeded the national average. The homeownership rate was at least 75 percent in 209 of Appalachia's 420 counties. It is important to note that for some parts of the region, the high homeonwership rates might be related to low levels of economic and residential mobility, the rise in the number and share of mobile homes in housing stock, and to a lesser extent, the older age structure of the Appalachian population (Activity: internet search of Appalachia, http://www.arc.gov/research). In regards to education attained in the Appalachian region, from 2008-2012, 14.3% of the Appalachian...

Negative Body Image Issues in Different Perspectives
Negative body image is a severe and inevitable topic for many teenagers and young adults. Many researchers and doctors present arguments about the cause and effects of negative body image. Jennifer L. Derenne and Eugene V. Beresin’s “Body Image , Media, and Eating Disorders”, a research report on body image, explains and discusses the broad phenomena of negative body image from then and now. On the other hand, Shari Graydon, who presents “How the Media keeps Us Hung Up on Body Image”, discusses and focuses more on the negative influences of media on women’s body image. Although both authors discuss the media influence on negative body image, Derenne and Beresin’s article is more effective and more persuasive than Graydon’s article since their article contains an objective argument, more convincing evidence, and more realistic solutions.
The whole concept in Graydon’s article is about criticizing and judging the media. In the article, Graydon describes the incident of negative body image as war-like and unwarranted influence (17). She considers teenage girls are the major targets in the problem and believes that media is responsible to the problem. Her main argument indicates that many industries make profit by manipulating the media such as magazines and television series that broadcast diet...

...“The life where nothing was ever unexpected. Or inconvenient. Or unusual. The life without colour, pain or past” (Lois Lowry). Pleasantville is a 1998 American fantasy comedy-drama film written, produced, and directed by Gary Ross. A brother and sister, David and Jennifer, are sucked into their television set and suddenly find themselves stuck in a 1950’s television show called “Pleasantville.” David and Jennifer suddenly find themselves in this strange city, as Bud and Mary Sue Parker, completely transformed and therefore black and white. “Pleasantville” is a film that can be classified as a dystopian, a satire, and a bildungsroman story.
A dystopia is a futuristic, imagined universe in which exists an oppressive society, and the illusion of a perfect society are maintained through technological, moral, or totalitarian control. Pleasantville is a dystopian story. David and Jennifer are both transported into a “perfect” world within a black and white television show where there is no fighting, no questioning of authority, and there are no fires. The people in Pleasantville do not know anything about the outside world. “What’s outside of Pleasantville?” (Ross). The geography class does not learn about "world" geography. The whole world lives on Main Street. When asked where Main Street ends, the teacher simply answers that the end of Main Street is the beginning of the Main Street again.
